Like some of the other commenters on here, I was vaguely aware that some hack author foolishly tried and failed to sue Rowling back in the early 00s, but I didn’t know all the details until now X(
As atrocious as the writing is, the content of this story also just plain confuses me. The introduction/prologue, in my opinion, is totally unnecessary because it adds little to the story in terms of world building; and it’s not like the average six year old (This WAS supposed to be a kid’s story, amirite??) is going to be riveted by these descriptions of international politics anyway!
I do find it rather pathetic, though, that Stouffer reissued the books under the NK Stouffer name and even used the Harry Potter font. C’mon, Stouffer, you’re not even trying, seriously…..
On another note, Stouffer’s muggles are totally going to be haunting my nightmares for the next week or so.
So much fail in the intro alone......
